Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I love no one
And no one loves me
I love no one
And no one loves me
I'm missing
I'm missing
I'm missing
I'm missing gah
I want no one
And no one wants me
I want no one
And no one wants me
I love no one
And no one loves me
I love no one
And no one loves me
I'm missing (Repeat 7X)
I'm missing gah
And no one loves me
I love no one
And no one loves me
I'm missing
I'm missing
I'm missing
I'm missing gah
I want no one
And no one wants me
I want no one
And no one wants me
I love no one
And no one loves me
I love no one
And no one loves me
I'm missing (Repeat 7X)
I'm missing gah

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
can't believe no one commented on this yet, everytime this song comes on, i feel like dancing!
Easily one of the most important songs of 90's rock n roll movement overlooked and hidden in a pile of dust of old records. Simple and Cold, this song definitely moves you. I love how it expresses the fact that sometimes your trying to understand or figure out a part of you that just dosnt make any sense. Shes trying to figure out what she is missing that makes her feel so lonely and isolated from everyone else. But in the end she gives up to the frustration by sighing "guh". Shes hopeless and Lost................ Beautiful!
I always thought that the -guh part was supposed to be word play.
I'm missing-guh = I'm a sing-ah
